The F1 offspring showed only one of the two parental traits, and always the same trait.
Results were always the same regardless of which parent donated the pollen (was male).

Fisher further argued that the strength of the female preference tends to grow exponentially (leading to 'explosive' evolution of the characteristic) until finally checked by ecological selection, since the offspring of those females with the ...

In sexual populations half the individuals are male and cannot themselves produce offspring. This means that an asexual lineage will have roughly double the rate of population growth under ideal conditions.

Moving up the scale towards more than one organism, genetics considers how heredity works between parent and offspring. Ethology considers group behavior of more than one individual.

Genetic recombinant is an offspring having a non-parental allele combination. For example, crossing between parental Aa Bb and aa bb can have offsprings with the following non-parental genotypes: Aa bb or aa Bb.

Backcross
A genetic cross between an offspring and one of its parents or an organism genetically identical to one of its parents.
Back mutation
A reversion event which restores the original DNA sequence.

reproduction -- The manufacture of offspring as part of an organism's life cycle. This is not the same as dispersal. Reproduction may be sexual, involving the fusion of gametes, or asexual.
